There’s a ditch construction project in Knoxville on West Pleasant across from Graceland Cemetery.

Tyler Christian, Marion County Engineer tells KNIA/KRLS News, “It’s a project that started about six years ago at the time the Federal Government still owned the property. We’ve had a number of erosion issues in that ditch. The soil would plug up the ditch and the next heavy rain would erode it into the shoulder along the highway.”

Now that the VA property is owned by the county, the work is being done before the issue becomes worse.
